Addiction
Definition: the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.
Addiction may be a good thing or may be a bad thing. The good addiction stuff are like studying, etc, those that will benefit you greatly. But there are many bad addiction stuff, such as addiction to drugs, games etc.
Addiction to studies is a good thing as you will be able to gain good results in examinations and then you will never have to worry about not getting a job in the future. But the point of me writing this post is about the bad addiction stuff.
Bad addiction like to drugs or games is very bad for you, especially your health. Drugs can cause your body to be weaker then before, though you might feel high when you have just taken the drug. You lose your ability to think straight and thus you might do some extremely foolish things. How to overcome it? Go cold turkey. Stay away from drugs or go to the drug rehabilitation centre so as to go cold turkey. Whenever you have the urge to take some drugs, force yourself not to and then you will be able to kick the habit.
Addiction to games will cause your studies to deteriorate badly, if not from bad to worse. Your eyesight will also go bad. Your health will also deteriorate due to the lack of sleep. How to overcome it? Simple. Shut yourself in the room and prevent yourself from using the computer. Ask your parents to help you. Go cold turkey.

Intrapersonal
Intrapersonal:
a. Who would you want to be friends with in the novel? Explain.
I would like to be friends with Atticus in the novel. Atticus is a helpful man, and does not care about any skin color or anything other people thinks its wrong. He does what he thinks is best to help others, though others may look down on him in the end after he helps. From the novel, he helps Tom Robinson, which is a black. The residents or Maycomb are against black people, but Atticus, being a White, still helps Tom. This shows that he is does not care for what others think bad about, but what he feels is correct.
Atticus is also very wise. It is stated in the book that he said bravery does not stand for a man with a gun. I feel that this is true. It is the courage within that is more important. If you were holding a gun, but do not have the courage to pull the trigger, then it is not called courage anymore, it will be called cowardice. But if you were find out about your own mistakes, and admit, that is called true courage. You have the bravery to stand up to yourself.
Interpersonal:
a. Conduct an interview with a friend (not from HCI) or family member. Find out from their point of view on prejudice and discrimination. Either record the interview or write out the interview transcript.
Q: How do you feel about prejudice and discrimination?
A: I feel that prejudice and discrimination is not a good thing. Take for example the whites against the blacks. All human have their own rights. I feel its very unfair to shun them in one corner while the whites enjoy almost everything. The blacks have to sit at the back of the bus while the whites sit at the front. And if there is no space at the front, the blacks are expected to give up their sit to the whites. The Blacks must feel that it certainly cannot continue. Not only that, the whites also treat the blacks with great disrespect though the blacks helped the whites alot.

Multiple Intelligence Test

I feel that the Multiple Intelligence test helps me know more about myself and make me undestan myself better than before. I found out that I am not the Musical type and I am actually body smart. This test is certainly beneficial and thus I will know what I am good at and what I am not so good at, which in the end helps me to learn better and where I can learn so as to absorb anything quickly. For example, I like working in a team, and not doing things solo, and this shows that if I do work in groups, I will be able to produce better results.
